In a world where eating habits are often handed down through generations, we rarely question the foods we consume daily. But what if we told you that much of what we consider “normal” might actually be pretty weird?
Let’s take a moment to explore why certain foods on a non-vegan diet may not be as ordinary as they seem.
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human health and identified by the World Health Organisation as one of the most important health challenges in the 21st century. The overuse of antibiotics in animal farming is a contributor to the increase in antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics are routinely used in intensive farming systems to prevent and treat infections and can also be used in animal feed to increase growth. Studies have estimated that 73% of all antibiotics sold globally are used in animals raised for food.
We kill billions of animals every year for foods that increase the risk of our biggest killers – heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Weirdly self-destructive?
When you start questioning these food norms, it becomes clear that what we’ve been conditioned to accept as normal is, in fact, pretty weird. By choosing a vegan lifestyle, you’re not only opting out of these strange practices, but you’re also making a powerful statement for compassion, sustainability, and health.
